The employment season of 2020 college graduates just past has not been slowed down. In recent weeks, the major colleges and universities that have been intensively returning to school have begun to plan ahead for the "employment plan" of 2021 graduates.
"Understand the needs of employers in advance, break fixed thinking, and boldly expand various industries and fields." At the end of September, at the 2021 fresh graduate employment school-enterprise exchange meeting held by Shanghai International Studies University, Cao Shujing, director of the school's employment guidance center, said.
This exchange meeting came more than half a year earlier than previous years. Jiang Feng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai International Studies University, attended and awarded certificates to 15 outstanding employers including Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office, AstraZeneca, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
Cao Shujing introduced that in 2021, on the basis of the original school-enterprise linkage, the school will strengthen its “going out” efforts and broaden employment channels.
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily noted that the "special employment season" affected by the epidemic has just passed, and the "employment war" for 2021 fresh graduates has begun in major universities.
"Employment Warm-up Competition" Arrives Early
Starting from mid-August, Wen Ke (pseudonym), a graduate student of the School of Journalism of Fudan University, has been following a large number of autumn recruitment-related information sent by the counselor in the grade group every day. "To be honest, I am very anxious. As a graduate next year, this year’s special situation It also caught me off guard.” Before that, Wen Keben planned to start an internship in February before the winter vacation. As a result, the sudden epidemic delayed her plan for more than three months. It was not until the end of May that she was able to apply for a return from the counselor. Shanghai, started an internship in Shanghai.
Wen Ke is considered "lucky".
Affected by the epidemic, his classmate, Fang Cheng (pseudonym), a college student who had already received an internship offer from a company in Wuhan, returned to his hometown in Henan to celebrate the New Year, but suffered a breach of contract because he could not return to Wuhan.
Recently, Teacher Cai, a counselor at Fudan School of Journalism, pushes the latest information on autumn recruitment in the grade announcement group every day. In addition to media employment information, she will also push recruitment information in real estate, banking and other industries, reminding students that "there is suitable post".
"What schools and colleges can do is to connect with enterprises and provide employment positions and employment information to students. The employment office of the school gives students a special lecture on resumes and interview experience. Some time ago, they also forwarded the employment prospect analysis and job analysis recorded by the Ministry of Education. Teacher Cai introduced that the class counselors started to do "employment counseling" as soon as the students returned to school this year. "Usually everyone contacted me one-on-one, and from the internship stage began to have one-on-one with students who are confused. Talk alone on the phone."
At Shanghai International Studies University, the preparatory work for employment that arrived in advance is called the "employment warm-up competition" by the school.
In August of this year, this school held an aerial double election through its own platform. What is interesting is that this "double election" is aimed at "graduates of 2021."
Nearly 150 positions in nearly 40 households are open to the class of 2021 students, and nearly 1,500 resumes have been submitted.
Shi Xuetong, a Korean language major of 2021 at Shanghai Foreign Languages Institute, found an internship opportunity at a law firm through the double election meeting.
Xiaoshi's employment direction has made her jump out of her previous "fixed thinking", "it has exercised my comprehensive ability, made me more confident in job hunting, and felt that Korean can play different roles in different industries!"
The reporter noted that in order to help the 2021 students better study and judge the employment situation and improve their job hunting ability as needed, SISU also invited outside experts from various industries to conduct the 2021 special job hunting ability training camp for students online.
The training camp has a total of 8 sessions and lasts for one month. The content covers career planning, resumes, written examinations, interviews, and other job hunting links, with 8,000 online listeners.
New changes in job search direction
After the epidemic, not all industries have ushered in a "job hunting winter".
Facing the special environment, the 2021 graduates began to pay special attention to some "new development opportunities".
In July this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the State Administration of Market Supervision, and the National Bureau of Statistics released 9 new occupations, among which 5 are Internet-related occupations such as "blockchain engineering and technical personnel" and "Internet marketer".
The emergence of these new professions has aroused widespread concern among students.
Tencent, ByteDance and other Internet "big companies" have opened up jobs in the autumn recruitment compared with last year.
According to data released by Tencent, 5,000 jobs will be opened for graduating graduates in 2021, and the total recruitment volume is expected to increase by 42% compared with last year. This is also the largest school recruitment ever undertaken by Tencent.
ByteDance Autumn Recruitment has opened more than 6,000 jobs for fresh graduates, which exceeds the company's recruitment scale in the same period in previous years.
In addition to the Internet, the medical industry has also become a "wind outlet" in the eyes of 2021 graduates.
The "2020 China's Outstanding University Graduates Demand and Job Search Report" released by 51job.com.cn shows that the number of recruitment in biopharmaceutical-related industries has increased, and medical graduates feel the best in job search, and the proportion of students who find it difficult to find a job lowest.
In addition, many college students who were not interested in civil servants and career establishments have also begun to consider this career development direction.
"I am going to take the public examination. It is mainly because after the epidemic, I want a more stable job." Shan Lin (pseudonym), a graduate student in the School of Computer Science at Zhejiang University, told reporters.
Some college students who are about to graduate have chosen to continue their studies facing the unpredictable job hunting environment.
"Before I planned to work directly after graduating from a bachelor's degree, but after the epidemic, I think it's better to study a graduate school first." said Li Xiaowen (pseudonym), a student from the School of Information Science and Engineering, Hunan University.
Educational institutions have also become the choice of more and more college graduates in recent years.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, job opportunities in these institutions have become "instability."
An Yu (pseudonym) is responsible for recruitment at an educational institution in Hangzhou. He revealed to reporters: “Many students have difficulty finding jobs due to the epidemic, and the threshold for educational institutions is relatively low. However, the retention rate is not high and they are expected to be before the summer vacation next year. Will'run away'."
Young people have already predicted the "competitiveness of returnees"
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily noted that after the special employment season of 2020, the 2021 freshmen have made advance judgments on various situations.
Cao Song (pseudonym), the head of the finance class of the School of Economics at Fudan University, predicted the "competitiveness of returnees" in advance.
He told reporters that the number of graduating students in 2021 is large, but at the same time, considering the "returnees" affected by the epidemic, "I feel that the competition will be quite fierce."
According to data from Wutongguo, the number of returned overseas students who are actively seeking jobs since 2020 has increased by 58.19% compared with the same period in 2019.
At present, 5 out of every 7 overseas students return to China. Previously, some media evaluated the current wave of returnees as "a rare return of talents in the history of a nation."
A major feature of Shanghai Pudong's young talent group is the large number of returned overseas talents.
Making good use of the talents who have returned from studying abroad has always been a breakthrough in the development of human resources in Pudong.
The district actively cooperates with alumni organizations such as the Shanghai European and American Alumni Association, Cambridge University Shanghai Alumni Association, Columbia University Shanghai Alumni Association and other alumni organizations to widely push recruitment information. More than 300 graduates have signed up for "internship in Pudong".
Zhang Chibin, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in finance from De Montfort University in the United Kingdom, was affected by the epidemic and was unable to return to the UK to study in time. He is now an intern in the office of the mayor of Chuansha New Town, Pudong.
"I saw the registration link on the Internet. Chuansha was close to my home, so I signed up." Zhang Chibin's original plan was to work in a financial institution after graduating from graduate school, but after a period of internship, he found that townships can also make a difference. I used to think that towns and villages are farmland, but now I find that many young people are doing homestays in the village, and the public facilities and services in the community are also sound.
Cao Song told reporters that in addition to a group of outstanding "returnees", the 2021 graduates may also face competitive pressure from different domestic universities and different regions.
Take the financial industry as an example. Although the four major state-owned banks, investment banks, securities firms and other companies have made clear the "expansion" in the next two years, the threshold for such "expansion" is relatively high.
"The expansion of enrollment is an expansion of enrollment, but many employers will make the recruitment conditions very small, and there will not be too many people who have the opportunity to apply. For example, the Qingbei special plan in Hangzhou Yuhang some time ago targeted only these two schools. Students. In order to help local colleges and universities, many units mainly recruit local students when recruiting." Cao Song said.
"Many students who are confused about options have the main problem of'anxiety'. Internships, graduation thesis, and job hunting are all over their heads. They feel pressured and blind, and don't know how to choose." Different anxiety for different students According to the advice of Teacher Cai, a counselor at Fudan University: “Everyone just needs to follow their own pace.”
